Driving equitable access to care
We’re advancing health equity by helping more patients access and afford the care they need
We’re on a mission to connect every eligible patient with every available resource
Without financial assistance and other patient access services, many patients struggle to afford necessary care. This is particularly true of patients living in poverty and/or those from historically marginalized groups.
We seek to generationally disrupt how the patient access journey is managed by combining our innovative software with our tech-enabled services to provide an equal opportunity for care. Alleviating administrative, financial, and societal barriers through digital connectivity helps to ensure no patient is left behind.
Provider-centric, patient-forward solutions
Our solutions empower healthcare provider organizations, institutions, infusion centers, specialty pharmacies, life science companies, and charitable foundations to move beyond spreadsheets, manual enrollment forms, and fragmented processes to help ensure every patient is assessed for financial assistance and other critical resources and that patients receive this assistance in a timely manner.
AssistPoint® is our software platform that simplifies, streamlines, and accelerates the process of managing financial assistance and other access services. Providers, specialty pharmacies, hospitals/institutions, and infusion centers can use AssistPoint to take a proactive approach and work up all patients for available resources, ensuring that no one misses out on the care they need.
Our tech-enabled service Adparo® solves the administrative and infrastructure challenges faced by many healthcare provider organizations. We provide trained, experienced staff who utilize AssistPoint to perform various tasks related to patient access, including proactively working up every patient for financial assistance and other access services.
AP Connect® creates a two-way, secure information exchange between AssistPoint and patient support programs from life science companies and charitable foundations to offer a standardized digital enrollment process, reduce program communication delays, speed up award approval notifications, and enable healthcare providers to easily provide patients with award balance remaining.
The meaningful difference we’re making
- Since 2018, over $3 billion in financial assistance has been secured with AssistPoint by our provider network
- Healthcare provider organizations using AssistPoint realized a 22% increase in average financial assistance collections on a per-provider basis
- In a recent analysis of customer data, Adparo increased financial assistance searches by a median of 323%, leading to a median boost in financial assistance awards secured of 158%

Leveraging Technology to Optimize Patient Financial Assistance in the Infusion Center
As the costs of innovative new therapies continue to rise, patients often struggle to afford treatment. 38% of Americans say they or a family member have delayed medical care because of the cost. While many patients in need of infusion therapy qualify for financial assistance, limited human resources and a lack of technology infrastructure within infusion centers mean that assistance opportunities are typically not sought out unless and until a patient voices a need for help, usually after receiving a large bill they can’t afford to pay.
In this presentation, co-hosted by Annexus Health and the National Infusion Center Association (NICA), Annexus Health Co-Founder and CEO Joe Baffone will review:
- The drivers and patient impact of financial toxicity
- How technology can ease the burden
- Annexus Health’s solutions for helping infusion centers make the most of financial assistance for eligible patients
